Costumes DLC? And costumes for characters that are useless on higher difficulties? What is this crap? This costumes look dangerously perverted. Momiji is almost naked, the same thing with Ayane. Who plays NG according to Hayashi? 12-year olds who masturbate to anime chicks?

EDIT: fvck NO. File size: 100 KB. This means all those costumes ARE ALREADY ON THE DISCS! THEY DID THIS STUFF WHILE DEVELOPING THE GAME AND LOCKED IT OUT OF GREED.

Itagaki was totally against this practice and said that TN will never do it.

You know apart from Ayane they aren't that bad. I think Momiji's is better than most of her in game costumes. Ayane could have done with her old NG2 costume or her DOA 4 costume, but apart from that they are quite good.

Rachel's has given me the impression she works in a bank or something during the day. Perhaps keeps her gun behind the counter to ward off thieves. Seriously though, it is better than hairstyles and is possibly the most unrevealing costume she has.

I expected them to be on the disc, sort of like SC4 with Vader and Yoda.

Let's just say it's a matter of taste. I think Hayashi should stop watching porn and putting this crazy fetish stuff into NG but OK, whatever. I don't play with those chicks so I don't care.

The costumes being on the disc isn't that kind of a matter, though. It's crazy for TN do it. Namcock is a company known for ridiculous DLC that milks the fans but TN? I remember when Itagaki said that those kind of business practices are pathetic and TN will never do such a thing. He said that if something is being done before the game's release and is included on the disc, then there is no way a company can cash twice for it. That's the way I expected TN to go - fair and square and with love for their fans. And know they pull out something like this? It's immoral of them and I refuse to buy DLC already included on the disc. Those costumes should be free since we all have already payed for them.

But like I said, I don't like these costumes and I don't see a point in dressing up chicks that are unplayable on higher difficulties. This isn't Barbie's Boutique 3D.

I know what you mean about the disc thing. But I expected that stunt because Itagaki left and his vision of games will not be taken anymore. I bet as soon as he walked out the door the greedy President said "Where is that NG2 source code? He's gone so PS3 it is!"

As for the costumes, I don't see the perverted side behind them (at least not Momiji's) because I'm not into that type of thing but if people like it then that is their opinion. I use the girls quite frequently so I will use these costumes. It is about time Rachel put her belly away. But Ayane's is a bit of a dissapointment to me. She already has costumes from her long history, so there wasn't really a need in going with the country theme for her chapter.

But Momiji's is too cool. That is by far one of the best designs in an NG costume yet imo. I would be more than happy to get the rest of these. I hope they do more.

I'm not into that type of thing but if people like it then that is their opinion.

The problem is that it's Hayashi that likes these things and he forces his perversion into Ninja Gaiden. Yes, Itagaki's games also had much tits worshiping but Hayashi has taken that to a next level and he seems to think it will sell his games. You know, stereotypes ain't a good thing most of the time but Japanese are perverted and Hayashi is a golden example of how crazy they can be when it comes to sex.

Maybe because it's taken from real-life and they didn't have to design it by themselves? Oh, wait - they did one thing... They've shortened the skirt to the point it's practically not there.. BTW - in real life Matsuri costumes are rarely that hot, especially when old women wear them:

Rachel looks as if she was taken directly from an office-themed porn studio set:

Well if there is part reailty in there it does show the type of culture that everywhere is into. They should do this in the future I think. It gives a good idea about the nature of the world.

I will not decide who is more perverted because this could be partly for the fanbase and Itagaki's own influence. I think he sort of edged them to be pervs. But I just think this is typical of team ninja when it comes to that type of thing.

I can say they definitely aren't what I expected for costumes. But in some cases they have passed my expectations because it isn't what I expected.

Yes I agree. I just think there could turn out to be a bit of milking going on here and I wouldn't welcome hairstyles like a new costume. I expect those "mysterious master ninja" costumes for Ryu and hairstyles for Rachel. That doesn't mean I would like hairstyles. It just means it wouldn't suprise me if they were there. Just nothing to them. No change of a proper costume. I would like to see some of Ayane's other costumes. NG2 or DOA ones. For Momiji she hasn't got her mask on her training outift and they could always substitute Kureha's outfit

of course the DLC is alread yon the disc otherwise the people online cant see your outfit because their games dont have the data.
Same with Burnout Paradise for Example. Every free "Patch" (1.9 was the latest I think) has EVERY piece of DLC (1,5 GB or so) in it, so you can play with your friends online even if only one has the DLC. So the DLC you buy in the Burnout Store (ingame) is actually just some KB.

The girls are sexy and the costumes, too (ok, a secretary outfit isn't really my taste but in Resident Evil 5 and Bullet Witch you will see similar outfits as well).
And that's why I think this will be the only costume pack. Sigma 2 has more costumes now than any other NG xD
